AI & Business Automation

Practical AI and automation that take repetitive work off your team

We connect your website, enquiries, quotes, jobs and invoices, and add AI where it saves real time, so the same information stops being typed into three different tools.

Example workflow

  1. Enquiry

    Arrives from your website form

  2. AI summary

    Key details pulled out and a reply drafted

  3. Review

    A person checks and sends it

  4. Records

    Contact, quote and follow-up created

What we build

AI and automation, built into how you work

AI integration

AI added to the systems you already run, where it saves real time: summarising enquiries and jobs, drafting replies and documents, and pulling out the details your team would otherwise type up.

AI assistants

Assistants that draft and suggest inside your own tools, with a person approving anything a customer will see.

Workflow automation

The steps between enquiry, quote, job and invoice connected, so information is entered once and moves on by itself.

Business process automation

Proposals, contracts, payments and reminders running on rules you set: for example, an accepted quote that schedules its own invoices.

Automated document generation

Certificates, proposals, reports and other branded documents produced from the data you already hold.

AI-enabled operational tools

Daily briefings, lead and project summaries and checks that show the team what needs attention first.

Our own platform

We run our business on it first

Smart Designs runs on an operations platform we built ourselves, with AI and automation throughout. It is how we know what is worth automating and what still needs a person.

We build the same patterns for clients: in code, connected through APIs to the website, payments, email and calendars you already use. For the software side, see software and applications.

In our own platform, AI and automation:

  • Drafts emails and proposal sections for a person to review
  • Summarises leads and projects, and prepares a daily operations briefing
  • Moves an accepted proposal to an e-signed contract, then to invoices on a payment plan
  • Keeps usage limits and a log of every AI request

Pricing

How AI and automation are priced

Custom quotation

AI & Business Automation

Automation is priced on the workflow being automated: how many steps, which systems and how much data. We map the job first, then quote a fixed price for it.

  1. 1Tell us which task takes too long, and where the information lives now.
  2. 2We map the workflow and propose what to automate first.
  3. 3A fixed quote for that first automation, then we build, test and hand it over.

Questions

AI and automation questions

Where should a business start with AI and automation?

With the job that takes the most repetitive time each week: re-typing enquiries, chasing paperwork, preparing the same documents. We map that one workflow, automate it, and measure the time it saves before suggesting the next.

Will AI send things to my customers without anyone checking?

Not unless you choose that. By default we build AI to draft and suggest, and a person on your team approves anything a customer will see.

Do you use tools like Zapier?

We build automations in code, connected to your systems through their APIs. That gives you more control, proper error handling and no per-task subscription.

What does AI and automation work cost?

It is quoted to the workflow: how many steps, which systems and how much data. You get a fixed quote for the first automation before we build it. Ongoing AI usage costs are explained in your proposal.
